A Spooktacular Evening

Don your Halloween costume, grab as many candy bags as you can carry, and head to Main Street for Vermillion's annual Downtown Trick-Or-Treat. Walk the circuit from Ratingen Platz to Church Street and the Vermillion Public Library’s Trunk-or-Treat, collecting candy from local businesses, community organizations, and groups along the way. Enjoy complimentary hot dogs and hamburgers from Hy-Vee, fun music, spooky guests, and so much more!
